Manila Government Declared Panday Sining as ‘Persona Non Grata’

The mayor of the city of Manila, Isko Moreno, said he lacks sleep because of his nightly inspections and planning for the city. He aims to bring back the glory days of the nation’s capital.

Last month, some members of the youth activist ‘Panday Sining’ vandalized the newly-painted underpass. Isko Moreno was very disappointed by the acts of the activists saying he will order them to wipe off the paint using their tongue if caught them.
Recently, four members of the group were arrested during Bonifacio Day after they were spotted vandalizing the post near the Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Recto Station. They were also apprehended for resisting arrest.
In a previous article, Isko Moreno took to social media to react to the activists’ arrest. He said he already warned them not to vandalize the city. He said the four of them should face the consequence.
On Friday, December 6, the local government of Manila declared the activist as ‘persona non grata after their involvement in vandalism in the city of Manila.

@musikerong: “Lubusin niyo na at isama niyo na lahat! iisa lang din iyan.”
